ONE of the most important matters to be
session, is the social purity question. Gov.
LUCE recommended a law raising the age of
consent to fourteen years. The ladies of
Detroit and other parts of the state have
petitioned to have the age fixed at eighteen
years. 1t is hardly probable that their re-
quest will be granted. The present age, ten
years, is altogether too low, but eighteen
years seems to err in the other direction. 1t
fails 70 distinguish between judgment and
lack of judgment, between maturity and i'm
maturity. 1t would look little strange, to
say the least, to see the age of consent placed
beyond a date at which both custom and law
authorize the making Of valid contract Of
marriage. One serious objection is that it
would place young men at the mercy of base
and designing females, and render them
liable TO incarceration in prison for acts, III
the commission of which they might be more
sinned against than SHINING, and for which
their more guilty partners in crime could not
be punished. There is a distinction between
the crimes of rape and seduction, which a
laudable and praiseworthy desire for the pro-
lection of young girls should not cause to be
overlooked. The discussion of this question
already had in the house, indicates that the
age will probably be raised from ten years
and fixed from fourteen to sixteen years.
For obvious reasons, this question cannot DO
fully discussed in the newspapers; neverthe-
less, il is matter of deep interest to the
people of the state, and no mistake should
be made in its proper settlement.

Tux NoRrHERNER is not above feeling a
degree of pride in seeing its articles copied
in great metropolitan paper like the Detroit
Free Press but, like most other papers, it
likes TO have the proper credit given. The
Free Press itself is not slow to complain
when other papers use its matter without
making due acknowledgment. Such appro-
priation is usually called by an ignominious
name, is it not, o! esteemed contemporary?
The NoRrHEnNER is moved to make these
remarks by having recently observed several
of its items in the columns Of the Free Press
without being credited to anybody, not mere
one or two liners, but such paragraphs as
we're worthy of acknowledgment if worthy
of being quoted at all.

The senate has made the consideration OF
the submission amendment the special order
for Thursday, the 27th inst. The result
seems to depend wholly on Senator HUB
uELL's vote and be has thus far kept his own
counsels. He voted for this measure two
years ago, and it is hoped he will do SO again.
The difficulty that confronts him is whether
to obey tho behests of his party or of his
constituents, the latter, it is claimed. being
opposed to the measure. If any republican
senator shall assume the responsibility of
defeating the amendment, he will have for
feited the good will of his party and will
have very materially increased the probabili-
ty of future political obscurity for himself.
The republican party is fairly and fully COM
mitted to the policy of submission and the
NoRrHrRNER. in common with the party,
earnestly hopes that no republican senator
will prove so recreant to bis trust as TO
become responsible for the defeat of tho
measure.

In case the government shall establish a
department of agriculture and labor, the
New Hampshire knights of labor want to
have DICK TREvELLIoK OF Detroit, placed at
its head. Such an appointment would be
be made. DICE has gained most of his
knowledge of the products of agriculture by
an inspection of them after they had under
gone the usual culinary transformations and,
rs far rs his practical knowledge of labor is
concerned, he has managed to acquire fair
share of the products of agriculture by work
ing his jaw, which has been kept steadily go
ing on its well oiled hinges, at the expense
of the laboring man, To- these many years.

REPRESENTATIVE RUMsEY has introduced
bill TO punish bohemian oat swindlers and
other frauds of kindred character. This is
right. The newspapers of the country have
done their best to put farmers on their guard
and 20 prevent them from being victimized by
the smooth, oily tongued swinders who are
engaged in such fraudulent business; but
there is class of people who think it don't
pay to take the papers and, as q natural con-
sequence, they fall an easy prey to the
unprincipled scoundrels by whom they are
SO successfully gulled. These people, we
suppose, are entitled to protection and, as
they will not protect themselves, the law
should do il for them.

We have been repeatedly assured, and by
members of the organization, that the
knights Of labor is a non-political organiza-
ton; but the Paw Paw Herald speaks of the
knights of labor party, and says that it's
principles are the same az the principles of
the greenback party and antagonistic TO the
principles of the republican party. The
Herald ought to know, and so had the mem
bers of the order, who claim it to be strictly

The Lansing State Republican thinks the
argument that fifth Justice of the supreme
court is necessary TO prevent an equal
division is fallacious one, because,
it says, an equally divided court decides the
the case against the appellant. That is true
and, at first glance, it might seem as though
the Republican was right. But suppose two
cases are appealed from different circuits,
each involving the same legal questions. the

GOVERNOR LUCE was asked by the president
of the southern forestry congress to name a
Michigan man in whose houor tree might
be planted in the circle representing the
Union of states. He named ZACHARIAH
CHANDLER, an exceedingly proper selection
but, without doubt, q different man than the
southern forestry men themselves would
have selected upon whose memory to bestow
the contemplated honor.

SENATOR CoNaER's name is favorably men
toned as one of the five commissioners TO be
appointed under the provisions of the
new interstate commerce bill, provided it
shall become a law, as it will unless it en-

selection could be- made, az Mr.. CoNGER is
thoroughly familiar with the subject, having
given it much thought and attention during
his senatorial term.

The L.. A. and v. II. IA. O.

The stockholders of the Los An
geles and Vernon Street Railway Co.
held meeting yesterday morning,
and after adopting bylaws, elected the
following directors: f. +. Kysor, d..
G. Stephens, C. f. Day, +. T. Wright
and Frank A. Gibson.
The directors subsequently met and
organized by electing ID. q. Stephens
President, c. f. Day Vice President,
f. F. Kysor, Treasurer, Frank A. Glib
son Secretary. A considerable amount
of business was transacted in relation
to the new road and the improvement
of the Central Park tract. Arrange
ments were made for laying cement
sidewalk ON the tract. A committee
was appointed to close contracts for
supplies necessary for the railroad, all
to be delivered at the earliest practi-
cable date. Steps were also taken to
put Central avenue and Wolfskill
street in good condition for travel as
soon us possible.
The directors take hold with will
and there is every prospect that the
"boom in Vernon" will receive Il
marked impetus from the improve
ments proposed by the Company.

Shields, Fight.

Mr.. Shields called at the HERALD
office last night to correct statement
which appeared in yesterdays Express
charging him with cowardly assault
with blunt instrument or knife on q
man named Kempendunk. Mr..
Shields said that he hab been endeav-
oring to collect bill of $50 from Kem-
pendunk for some time past, but has
been evaded and "stood off, on every
occasion. Yesterday afternoon he met
his debtor on Boyle Heights, and pre-
senting his account, demanded pay
ment. Kempendunk replied with q
torrent of foul and abusive language,
whereupon Shields mounted his OPP
ponent's wagon and forthwith gave
BIN sound and reasonably severe
thrashing. As for the instrument
which the Express claims was used,
"this," said Mr.. Shields, holding up
his clenched fist, sis the only weapon
with which | assaulted him."
The case will be disposed of in JUS
tice Austin's court to-day.

RAILWAY Extension.

1t seems to be we'll understood that
the Southern Pacific company, having
finished the principal earthwork on
the California and Oregon line, leaving
little but rock work to do, will transfer
the graders, some 2500 in number, to
Oceanside, from which place one gang
will grade to Roseville, where the
company owns twenty acres of land at
the north end of San Diego harbor, on
a deep water front, while the other
gang will grade north to Santa Ana.
1t is also probable that gang OF grad
ers will commence at Santa Ana,
grading southwark.
The California Central yesterday
completed grading for the line of that
road from Santa Ana across the San
Joaquin rancho to San Juan-By-the-
Sea. Track laying continues on the
Ballona branch of this road, and the
cars are to run through to Ballona on
the first of August.

IMPORTANT STREET OPENING.
Central Avenue TO be Extended
from Eighth to seventh.

A contract of considerable import
ance was entered into yesterday after
noon between Hon. A. F. Coronel and
the owners of the o. J. Mairs tract,
whereby Central avenue, or Wolfskill
street, will be at once opened from
Eighth through to Seventh street. Mr..
Charles Kohler and the owners of the
Mairs tract had agreed to the opening
of this handsome eighty-foot avenue
along the lines of their respective
properties, and for several days have
been engaged in clearing and opening
it, and the contract was signed yester-
day by Mr.. Coronel giving one-half
of the land necessary to effect the ex-
tension to Seventh street, and the
owners of the Mairs and Kohler tracts
purchasing the other half at the rate
of $4,000 per acre. The Mairs tract is
to be sold at auction this evening by
the Los Angeles Land Bureau at Arm
ory Hall. The tract is a handsome
one, and with this street connection
effected, is most centrally located,
within ten minutes walk of the new
postofiice, and by the Los Angeles and
Vernon-Street railway line, which
runs through the tract, and of which
Hon. j. ID. Bicknell, Frank A. Gibson,
G. +. Day and other well-known gen.
tlemen are incorporators, is most con-
veniently located with reference to
easy access to the business center.
Property in this portion of the city,
which has heretofore been held in
large blocks, is now attracting the at
tention of capitalists and is advancing
in value at greater ratio than that
in any portion of Los Angeles. Per-
sons desiring to make good invest
ments should be on hand at Armory
Hall this evening. Sale will COM
menee promptly at SOP. NJ.

santa Ana to San Juan.

The grading for the railroad from
Santa Ana to San Juan Capistrano,
across the San Joaquin rancho was
completed on Thursday evening. This
grading was delayed several months
from the fact that the right OF way
could not be obtained across the San
joaquin rancho but while waiting for
this right of way the grading was
completed up to the line OF the rancho
SO that when the matter was settled
the whole force of men were put on
and the grading was done in very
short time.

Christian ASSOCIATION.
Quite number of those interested
in the success of the Young Mems
Christian Association assembled yes
terday in the parlors OF their build
ing on Second street at noon
and held services commemoratory of
the breaking of the ground for the
new building on Fort street, below
Second. The services were opened by
a song, after which Rev. w. b. Strad-
ley led in prayer. The services were
conducted by +. S. Field, who called
upon Rev. DIR. Cantine, DR.. Seymour,
C. S. Mason, S. l. Merrill and Rev. w.
B. Stradley, who each offered a few
remarks, in which they stated that
they took great interest in the associa-
ton, and thought tnat the new build.
ing would be productive of great good
in the cause of Christianity. The
ground was broken by DR., Seymour,
S. 1. Merrill and Judge Baxter, who,
being charter members were entitled,
cast the first spadeful of earth into the
waiting wagon. This operation con-
cluded the ceremonies, and those pres
ent returned to their daily occupa-

THE ASSESSMENT ROLLS.
Property owners Cited to Appear
Before the supervisors.


Before the supervisors
The work of examining the muddled
assessment rolls still progresses very
slowly, and at the present rate OF pro-
gression it will be some time yet before
the Supervisors have finished their
arduous task. In examining the rolls,
page by page, many reassignments OF
districts have to be made, and 1t Is not
infrequently the case that properties
are found which are assigned to school
or road districts which do not exist.
These have to be redlstricted, and great
pains have to be taken in the examin-
alton not to let these stupid blunders
escape detection. Yesterday the ex-
animation of the rolls did not develop
anything except large number OF
these smaller mistakes, but the Super
visors decided to call Messrs. Richard
O'Neil, James Irvine, A. Robinson,
trustee, and d. Freeman, whose cases
have been recited in former issues OF
the HERALD, before them, to show
cause why their assessments should
not be raised. These gentlemen will
appear before the Board on the 9th
